This change has been a long time coming and is a better representation of our school as an institution. Our programs reflect post-secondary learning in career trades and are comparable to what similar schools are called in other states: Technical Colleges.
Among some of the advantages Immokalee Technical College and Lorenzo Technical College have over traditional public state and for-profit colleges:
- Simply the lowest tuition rate around: $2.92 per scheduled hour.
- Faster completion time: Most programs can be completed in a year.
- Articulation agreements with area colleges: The courses and certifications you complete her will count towards credit towards more advanced degrees.
Add to that our instructors with many years of real world experience, our state of the art lab facilities for students to gain hands on experience with the latest equipment being used in the workforce, and superior student support services; our students are well prepared for the workforce and local employers reap the benefits.

One of my students, Kris Kasten, was interviewed by the Naples Daily News and had this to say about the name change:
" "A lot of students look forward to attending
college after high school. However most students don’t know where
to attend or what they want to focus their studies on. Attending Immokalee Technical College is a great
way for them to get their foot in the door and decide on a career path and
learn skills and trades with direct hands-on real-world experience that will
help them further their careers and lives. It allows the students/adults to know that the
work that they complete here can transfer over to college. " With this name change comes greater credibility
not only to the school and the programs it offers but also to the community and
future employers looking for graduates who have acquired specific skills and
certifications in their perspective fields. It will also bring a better perception of the
work that the students do to complete their courses."
